Cheap flights to Muscat International Airport
Muscat International Airport (MCT) is Oman's most important airport and the gateway to its capital city. Muscat often gets overlooked by the glitzier, more modern cities in the region, but whereas cities like Dubai and Doha may have sleek, supertall skyscrapers, Muscat seduces with its charm, cultural riches, and historical splendour. Flights to Muscat International are easy to come by and Skyscanner's monthly search feature will help you find the cheapest airfare.
Best time to book a flight to Muscat
From June to August, the heat in Oman is scorching hot, so definitely avoid going during these months if at all possible.

The drive is about 15-20 minutes depending on the part of the city you're planning on staying in. Many hotels also offer a courtesy pick-up service. There are a number of car rental agencies within the airport and if you plan on venturing outside of Muscat having your own vehicle is a good idea.
Airport facilities
A new, state-of-the-art terminal is currently under construction. However, until that opens, visitors to Muscat International will have to deal with the current terminal which is, admittedly, a bit outdated and crowded. Most restaurants and shopping options require you to clear security first. The only vendor located landside is a Costa Coffee. There is a bar located on the first floor of the departures area. There are two premium class lounges, one for Oman Air passengers and another for other passengers. ATMs and currency exchanges are located throughout and are open 24 hours. Free WiFi is also available.
What to see and do in Muscat
Muscat is a beautiful city which has done an impressive job at preserving its traditional architecture.

The Mutrah Souk is considered one of the most outstanding souks in the Middle East and is a great place to experience the local culture.
